Snapped a few random pics today

Hegemony · 11-18-2007, 05:24 PM

Here's a few random shots of the car. Just got the grilles and brakes put on yesterday.

Visible Mods:

ROTA SVN's, Matte black grilles, color matched reflectors, Stoptech BBK

I'll eventually get the Rota's powder coated. Haven't decided if I'm going to go with a yellow lip to match the brakes or just do them silver to tone it down a bit.

Also rolled the track wheels (Volk RE30's in gunmetal) out in front just to give a visual on them. Too lazy to put them on just for a photo, but the car basically looks monochrome with them mounted.

Looks pretty sweet. I'd keep it time attack but you should have gotten the calipers in red

Zoeb@WheelDude.com · 11-18-2007, 05:57 PM

looks great!

BoostedBMW · 11-18-2007, 06:15 PM

Ironically, the calipers came red. I had them powdercoated to yellow. I'm thinking of doing something like this:

1clean335i · 11-18-2007, 08:26 PM

yellow stripe

post some pics when you get it done!

gobo335i · 11-19-2007, 12:33 PM

EastCoast335i · 11-19-2007, 12:55 PM

Love everything but the wheels...

I never liked the all black wheel look...
Makes it look like your rolling on an oversized donut, IMO

Haven't had much of a chance to drive them in the wet since we have the drought going on down here. They work for putting around town. I stepped on it a few times right after i put them on and could definitely feel a slightly worse slip angle and grip compared to the stock RFTs, but it's not horrific. They stop well enough which is the most important part for me.

I don't plan on driving aggressively on them and I don't street race, so the most intense situation I'll be in on them is slamming on the brakes in reaction to the genius drivers in Atlanta traffic. I find them to be very economical for daily commutes.

just4kickz · 11-19-2007, 03:40 PM

yello strip would be dope

Zoeb@WheelDude.com · 11-19-2007, 10:43 PM

do you have any shots from the rear quarter view?

ianbiz · 11-19-2007, 10:51 PM

Very nice. I <3 your brakes. You def. need tint though.

nlakind · 11-20-2007, 01:30 AM

looks good..i wouldn't have put Rota's on my car to save my life, especially if you have RE30's in the garage..doesn't make much sense

dawgdog · 11-21-2007, 07:38 AM
